I thought St Peters Church was level(ish) distance from the sea as the college so wouldn't be in shot looking south if that's the church. The view looks like it comes from further north. Unless i have my bearings a bit wrong. Been a while since I've been into town.

St Bartholomew's - I was told a story as a boy, no idea how true, that is was designed to be the same size as Noah's ark [or did I just imagine that?]

That building on the left with the red roof and chimneys is now the Hobgoblin. Taken from St. Bartholomew’s Church?
I heard told that story too
The vast building, in Italian Gothic style with a large rose window and a statue of St Bartholomew in a niche below, completely dominated the surrounding houses and was built to the supposed dimensions of Noah's Ark, 180 feet long, 58 feet wide and 140 feet to the top of the gilt metal cross.

I’m Daz-zled by this Ariel photo. It’s almost like my grandad is there in persil...
The greenery in the middle is Pelham Square. The tall buildings just NE of that are the old Margaret Hardy and Fawcett senior schools.

I've also heard it's the tallest church nave in England. I have no idea if that's actually true.

It's a fantastic picture.
It reminds me of one of the best bits about match day which is the view from the train as we go over the viaduct.
Glorious sight.
And actually hasn't changed a great deal looking at that pic.
